T-money vs K-Pass: Which Seoul Transit Card Should Tourists Buy

Image
You've probably run into both names while researching this trip: T-money, and K-Pass. Only one of them is built for a visitor, and it isn't the one getting more headlines in Korea this month. K-Pass isn't a card you buy at a kiosk. It's a national refund program, and Korean bank pages describing it spell out the mechanics: ride public transit 15 or more times in a calendar month and you get 20% of your fares back the following month, rising to 30% for people 19–34 and 53% for low-income riders, capped at 60 trips. To even open an account, multiple guides written specifically for foreigners agree on the same three requirements: a Korean-issued bank card, a Korean mobile number, and, for anyone who isn't a citizen, an Alien Registration Card tied to an actual address here. A one-week trip on a tourist visa clears none of that. As one of those guides puts it plainly, short-term visitors "cannot register for K-Pass under any version of the system." Why K-...

Incheon Airport to Seoul After Midnight: Night Bus or Taxi?

Image
If you're working out how to get from Incheon Airport to Seoul after midnight, one fact settles most of it: the last AREX express toward Seoul leaves Terminal 1 at 22:48, and the all-stop train isn't far behind it. After that you have a night bus for ₩17,000–18,000 (about $13) or a taxi that starts near ₩70,000 (about $52) and climbs from there. I went through the airport's own pages and the AREX timetable on Sept 8 to pin the times and fares below. Prices in dollars use the Sept 7 rate of roughly ₩1,345 to the dollar, so round accordingly if you're reading this months later. The train: gone by 11 pm The express timetable on the AREX site showed the last Seoul-bound run leaving Terminal 2 at 22:40 and Terminal 1 at 22:48 when I read it, arriving at Seoul Station at 23:31. The 23:00 sitting in the same table is the last train out of Seoul Station, which is easy to misread at 1 am; I did, on the first pass. The all-stop train runs a little later, but I couldn't g...

Chuseok 2026 Seoul: Currency Exchange Closes — Get Won by Sept 23

Image
Chuseok 2026 runs Thursday, September 24 through Saturday, September 26, according to the official Visit Korea site . This year there's no substitute Monday tacked on, since none of the three dates falls on a Sunday. The 27th is already a Sunday, so the real dead zone for a visitor is four days, Thursday to Sunday. If your trip lands anywhere in that window, the closures that matter aren't the ones you'd expect. Everyone plans around "will the palace be open." Almost nobody plans around "will a bank actually give me cash," and that's the one that catches people out. The Banks Go Dark, Not Just the Small Shops Visit Korea's own currency page lists the three banks running exchange counters inside Incheon Airport: KB Kookmin (B1, both terminals), Hana (T1 2F, T2 B1), and Woori (1F, both terminals). All three carry the same line: standard hours 09:00–16:00, closed weekends and public holidays . Chuseok is a public holiday. Run that forward and t...
